AI in defense refers to the use of artificial intelligence technologies to enhance military capabilities, such as autonomous drones, cyber defense, and strategic decision-making. Proponents argue that AI can significantly enhance military effectiveness, provide strategic advantages, and improve national security. Opponents argue that AI poses ethical risks, potential loss of human control, and can lead to unintended consequences in critical situations.

Bad question - "AI" is a broad term, and most people don't have the faintest notion of what is meant by "AI" anyway
@B4TQW973wks3W
NO. ai is way too irregular and not even accurate. especially right now. AI cant even make a persons hand look normal without adding 3 extra fingers. AI can stay away
@B4SC78C4wks4W
Yes, within certain areas. Some applications are better suited such as infantry however others such as artillery are not. The goal should be to full scale AI enhancement to mitigate loss of life.
@B4BSH591mo1MO
The Australian government relies on old handoffs from other countries for their military and don't even have mobile artillery. They aren't capable of properly developing that.Even if they did they won't have the capacity to do anything major with it.
@B39866F3mos3MO
for missile detection and assist arming with laser guiding to hit targets with more damage and accuracy
@B24STGS5mos5MO
Yes, but under extremely strict supervision and utilization, and it is to be prohibited the moment it puts the lives of personnel at risk.
@9ZSXRDG6mos6MO
Only to an extent. The government should not put all their trust and resources in to AI, but it is a good idea to utilise its abilities without over-relying on it
@9ZSXRD96mos6MO
To an extent, as being able to use AI in a effective and efficient mannor would be a major advantage but being overreliance could be dangerous as AI is prone to spreading major misinformation.
